The Canon Powershot S5 IS The Mega-Zoom wars heat up

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: The Canon Powershot S5 IS provides most of the flexibility of a dSLR while retaining all of the convenience and ease of use of a P&S digicam.
Review: Photography has been my obsession for more than thirty years, so I'm a very lucky guy - I get to test lots of nifty new digital cameras. The only problem is that I have to send the cameras back when my tests are finished. Usually that's not too...

Canon Powershot S1 IS Digital Camera: Do Not Even Think of Purchasing Unless....

Date of Review:  Apr 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: A very good camera with a lot of extra components that will not disappoint.
Review: After numerous attempts to bring my parents into the digital world, I think I have finally succeeded. I failed a few years ago with a Sony digital camera that they could not quite figure out how to use and have succeeded only modestly with regards...

Canon PowerShot S5 IS Digital Camera - I Am Selling It On eBay

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: The Canon PowerShot S5 IS is an excellent choice if you need a camera with 12x optical zoom and optical image stabilization. But you can save...
Review: Mega-zoom cameras are fun. Before digital mega-zoom cameras were available, you would have to carry around a bunch of lenses and a camera body to be able to get to 10x magnification, but now you can get a digital camera with 10x optical zoom and...

Canon PowerShot S1 IS - Canon's Category Killer Entry

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: An instant HIT! Your experience with the Canon family of Digital Cameras is not lost, for most of it still applies. At Last! Innovation without Obsolescence!
Review: 2nd Revision - July 20, 2005

CANON PowerShot S1 IS

Apologies to readers everywhere - Due to ignorance, I did not discuss the "IS" part of the model number. Further research revealed that, with a 10x Telephoto setting, the...

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: CANon ?

Date of Review:  Oct 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: The S3 was exquisite. This is ... NOT. For all its mumbo jumbo and high tech additions, they have sacrificed quality.
Review: Disappointed! That is me in a nutshell.

I was the proud owner of this model's predecessor, the S3 from the previous year. I LOVED it. Its photos were magical. The color was divine and the resolution, the way it felt in my hand .....

ZOOM - but at a price?

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you can find it on sale, it's worth it. At $499, look elsewhere.
Review: A ZOOM FOR ALL PEOPLE?

The Canon S1 IS (IS standing for "image stabilization"), hits the market perhaps a little late in the game considering it's resolution of only 3 megapixels. Panasonic offers a 12X IS zoom camera at 4 megapixels, and...

Canon S1 IS

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great photos, excellent features, ultra-zoom and IS.
Review: I purchased this camera about a week ago. I previously owned the Minolta DiMAGE Z1, but was unhappy with that camera's flaws (such as very bad chromatic aberration, and audio/video out of sync). On paper, the Z1 was great, but my experience was less...

Canon PowerShot S1-IS: great combination of features & price

Date of Review:  Jun 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: The image-stabilized 10X zoom and swivel LCD are a unique combo. Given ample money, I'd choose the S2 over the S1, but I'm happy with the S1's value.
Review: I've had the PowerShot S1-IS for about 6 weeks, and found that my photos have improved greatly since my initial purchase. I suspect that some difficulties reported may be due less to the camera than the user.

Lens cap loss: Just attach it...

Great camera all around

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend it - it's a great "bridge" camera.
Review: This camera has so many different things to talk about, I don t know where to begin!

I m 21 years old, and in the seven years of my life so far that I have been a digital user, I have owned several cameras. My first was a $400 Sony Mavica...

Excellent choice

Date of Review:  Sep 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: This camera is a smart choice for anyone. My 4 year old can operate this camera on the auto setting, yet I can still take excellent pictures on manual.
Review: I love photography, and as much as I'd love to own a dSLR it's just not in my budget at the moment. This is the next best thing, in my opinion. I love the option of full manual control, and the automatic and program modes make this camera nearly...
